I see what you mean, and i think it will probably always be like that. Some people prefer spending time on the things they don't like rather than like. I'll surely have a nice day. Have a nice day, you too (and all the rest of you).

It's not unlikely that i have misunderstood scopes, but isn't the whole point to display as little information as possible but enough for the user to know it will be worth while to open specific application(s)? Just that + some simple things like time, date etc.

I agree with @Lakota , that it should be available for everyone. I therefore think the team's decision to put priority on Halium is very good. I think it will make it significantly easier to support new phones and therefore attracts more people to contribute. Hopefully deciding about a particular flagship device will then also not be much of an issue as a result. I also think prioritizing Anbox is probably a good idea to attract people to contribute. Finally i think convergence seems like a fantastic feature.

Who knows, but Imho those 3 should be the top 3 priorities to provide for a bright future of ubports,

This is not a big thing for me, but i kind of think it would be the most beneficial for everyone if the focus can be on making the greatest phone ever and preferably not include the f-word or similar. I think @Locamama for sure have good intentions and @alternator has mostly (of what i have read) contributed good input, and i think continued coexistence would be preferable. Would it be possible to put this to the past for everyone?

I agree with you too, @mariogrip . I went all-in in February with Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 4. It feels very good to have the increased freedom, but it comes at some cost. The things I'm having trouble with so far:

Lack of access to important apps.

Browser crash and wouldn't start again until rebooting the phone.

Alarm clock sometimes does not go off, or goes off late (10-20 minutes).

@mariogrip I think being able to run android apps is what i'd look forward the most to see. It does not mean i want to be glued to android apps all the time, but rather to get through something in the way.

I have watched through the Q&A now, and I'm very happy for the increased attention to the ubports project. I'm also very happy to know about the efforts made to support backup of the device. Thanks for your efforts!

In the Q&A I got to know that ubports now runs on Nexus 4, but the devices page still says that there is no image. Should that information just be ignored and either of the two suggested procedures should be followed?

Regarding what to do with the new opportunities that comes with the new full-time developer, I think the first priority should be to add support for an inexpensive smallish device (similar to Nexus 4, Nexus 5 or L90) that is easy to get in as many countries as possible. That's because i think all of the currently supported devices are actually quite hard to get.

I would like to say that in my opinion the second priority should be to make more native apps and make it easier to make native apps, but I'd rather put Anbox as the second priority anyway since I think it is probably a more pragmatic way to get access to more apps fast.

@mlinodasilva I think those semi-secret Canonical partner devices seem to have some extra snags, but i have had the same problem as you on my Nexus 4. For me deleting all in .cache/ubuntuimages and install again solved the issue. You could try that unless you get any better device specific instructions here.

@Stefano I too know it works on the Nexus 5, so i thought making sure that the PC side is ok would be a good start. Anyway, the device seems more likely to be the reason. I'm short on suggestions, but i think i have read that authentication is optional so it could be worth trying to find it and turn it off.

@guru I think some way of knowing what features the community would like the most is a really good idea.

The way i think it should work is that there is a community-driven list of grouped things that the community would like, and every member has a set of radio buttons from 0 to 5 for each thing to indicate how much wanted the feature is for that particular user. Then there should be a "hi-score list" with all the features and how much wanted the community in total think they are.

@fmulcar I think we are in line, more or less, and the both of us think that the Nexus 4 is a nice device. For myself i try to be patient with a hope that the Nexus 4 still have a future, but in the meanwhile i stay with the Canonical version.

However, i think that Nexus 4 should have some priority since it had under the wings of Canonical, being their primary device.
